building. Cartain Setback was notified
early of the decision, and soon an additional
force of officers were seen patrolling the
vicinity of the jail Detectives were posted
on nearly every approach to the place and
every suspicious character was watched.

Ferdinand Spies, brother of August, re-

the decision of the court was announced.
He fastened to Captain Blacks Office and
there met Nina Van ZanoC and her mother,
Mrs. Engel, and half dozen other friends
of the condemned men, who had also re-
ceived dispatches from Ottawa. Nina Van
Zandt looked CHASTITY, tears stood in her
eyes and her face was white and drawn.
Tears were streaming down the cheeks of
Engel and all of the others looked far
worse than they have at any time since the
trial began Indeed, the verdict of the jury
in Judge Gary's court was not the blow to
the Anarchists and their friends that the
decision OF the Supreme Court has been.
Not since the returning of the verdict of
guilty in the Anarchists trial, nearly
thirteen months ago, has there been such
intense excitement in the city as was occa-
stoned by the announcement of the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court For months
the people have been waiting with feverish
anxiety TO learn what the Supreme Court
would do in the famous case. Now that the
opinion has finally been rendered, a feeling
Of relief is being experienced, and, outside
of Anarchistic circles, the verdict is uni
yersally approved.
quarter of an hour after the news was
received there were more detectives located
on the outside of the jail building than
there has been since the day of the verdict,
August 20, 1886. The policemen in uniform
about the jail had several additions to their
number, who patrolled the four sides of the
building and drove away the small boys
who dared to approach and look up at the
barred windows of the prison. Persons
were not allowed to loiter on Illinois street,
in the rear of the building, and, therefore,
the crowd kept marching up and down, dis
cussing the all-absorblng topic.
CHICAGO, Sept 15.-The Chicago organ of
the Anarchists, the Arbieter Zejtung, prints
the following editorial on the verdict in yes
terday afternoons issue: THE verdict
confirmed. And so it has come to pass
what was considered impossible, the I'M
heard Of The voice falters in it's attempt
to give expression to it, and the ink did not
flow from the pen to write it down. The
class malignity of the citizens association
has won victory of the most evident de-
mands of humanity.
1.-THE Supreme Court in Ottawa, the legal
instrument of the capitahstic reign, has
affirmed the outrageous verdict of the first
instance, which decided that seven of our
best comrades shall suffer the death of
martyrs for the cause of the laboring peo-
pie, and that the eighth shall serve if
teen-year sentence at the penitentiary
mo! that they shall be punished for the
death of the policemen that fell on the
Haymarket. The spirit of latter-day prog
ress it is that shall be strangled upon the
galloWs.
"'Their blood come over us and our chill
dren,' is the answer that is returned by
the ruling class to all of our representa-
tions-the same answer which once the
Pharise shouted to the followers of Jesus
Christ, of Nazareth.
.But we, the followers of Spies and his
fellow sufferers, will not at an improper
time invoke revenge, but DO everything
that remains for US to do.
'The lawyers for the defense will de-
mand rehearing. Then the Governor
mus be requested to postpone the execu-
ton. In the meanwhile steps must be
taken to bring the case before the Supreme
Court of the United States, and any one of
the Supreme Judges will be asked to grant
a supersedeas in order for reprieve.
"We hope, in spite of all this, and even
if this hope should prove false one, we
still hope and expect confidently with each
hour closer approaching the day, of better
understanding, lit is not yet every days
